Grigory Yefimovich Rasputin is a magnetic specter in the drama that is Russian history, for the peasant mystic from Pokrovskoe played a defining role in the last days of the Romanov Dynasty. In 1905, the fateful meeting took place. Rasputin requested—and was granted— an audience with the Romanov family at Peterhof, where he presented them with a hand-painted wooden icon of Saint Simeon, a venerated Siberian saint dear to Rasputin’s own heart. He soon became a trusted advisor and confidante to Emperor Nicholas II and Tsaritsa Alexandra Feodorovna; Alexandra in particular was convinced that the “staretz” was a gift to her from God Almighty, sent to ease her passage through life as the “Little Mother of Russia,” and especially to preserve the precious life of her only son, the Heir, Tsesarevich Alexei Nikolaevich.

<u>Answer:</u> "Tornado" is a form of severe weather depicted in the given image.
<u>Explanation:</u>
A tornado is a rapidly spinning mass of air reaching down to the ground from the center of a thunderstorm. Tornadoes can completely destroy well-made buildings, uproot trees and hurl objects like lethal missiles through the air. Several types of tornadoes include multiple vortex tornado, landspout, and waterspout.
Tornadoes occurs very often in North America (especially in central and southeastern regions of the United States known as tornado alleys), southeastern South America, Southern Africa, Northwestern and Southeastern Europe, Bangladesh and adjacent eastern India, Western and Southeastern Australia and New Zealand.
Tornadoes can be detected before or as they occur with the help of Pulse-Doppler radar by recognizing patterns in data on velocity and reflectivity like hook echoes or debris balls, also by storm spotter effort.
